In 2010 I had the entire engine rebuilt because it had a cracked head that I didn't have the cash to fix at the moment and when we went in there was rust inside the entire engine.
3 weeks ago, I was checking my fluids and checked the coolant reservoir and then radiator. I didn't fully close the radiator cap and on my way that evening the truck overheated. I pulled over at gas station and checked everything and the cap wasn't fully secure. I replaced the coolant and made my way back home the temperature jumped up a little higher then the normal temp on way home.
Next morning I purchased a new radiator cap and it all but fixed the overheating issue accept now during heavy traffic where I'm sitting still a minute or two the water temp goes up almost half way between center line and the overheating line. I marked the reservoir with a pen and the fluids aren't leaking. Any ideas on what the issue could be? Or things I can test to find the problem?
Thanks in advance for any help!
